Question

describe the functions of Golgi complex

Answer 1

Golgi body functions:-
* Modifies proteins and lipids
* Process materials to be removed from the cell
* Make and secrete mucus
*Packages lroducts into vesicles for transport

Answer 2

Answer :-

The functions of the Golgi complex are as follows :-

• They help in the formation of Polysaccharides.

• They help in the formation of Glycoprotien (through the process of Glycoxylation).

• They help in the formation of Lipids (through the process of Glycoxidation)

• They play an important role in the process of Cell secretion.

• They work as Packaging Stations.

• They secrete lubricants in root cap region.

• They help in the synthesis of carbohydrates and Tectins which form cellulose.

• They help in the modification of newly synthesized protiens.

• They help in the formation of Lysosomes ( suicidal bags of the cell).

• They play an important role in the formation of the Plasma Membrane.

Extra Information :-

• The Golgi Complex was discovered by "Camillo Golgi".

• Golgi Complex is also known as "Golgi Apparatus" or "Golgi Body".

• The *marker enzyme* of the Golgi Complex is "Glycosyl Transferase".

*Note -: Marker enzymes are the enzymes which are found in only one particular organelle of the cell and thus, these enzymes justify the significance of that particular organelle.
